==Usage in Westarctica== | |||
From 2001 - 2004, when [[Westarctica]] was known as the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]], the title of Count was not used. Instead the British equivalent of Earl was bestowed upon only two individuals. However, [[Countess Radlinski]], the first noble to bear the title in any form, was made a countess on 28 January 2002. In the British system, there is no female equivalent for Earl, and the Countess was a fan of Dracula, so it seemed appropriate to grant her that title. | |||
In 2004, [[Grand Duke Travis]] revised the titles of the [[Baronage]] and converted the two existing Earls to Counts. He also demoted the Duke of Walgreen to the become the [[Count of Kohler]]. | |||
